As long as people do not question a war, the state is theoretically peaceful. "Ignorance is Strength" addresses the idea that if everybody stays stupid, they can be controlled and thus create a strong state.

Goldstein takes time exposing the party's intent of manipulating these slogans for their own ends.

In 1984 the government of Oceania produces enough supplies to fuel itself. Winston says himself there is always a shortage of something, razor blades, bootlaces, etc. Yet Oceania ALWAYS has enough supplies and could, if the Party wished it, supply everyone and make everyone happy and comfortable. However they don't, this is because war is used as a means to destroy the surplus. Think of it like they making a ton of shoes for their country. They give a certain number to their country but the rest they throw into the furnace. And then they continue to make more shoes, and repeat this over. War is no longer a means of victory, it is a means to control the population, through propaganda (by giving them something to cheer for, to compaign for) and to keep the world self-sustaining and slef-destructing, to keep the world stable. That's all 1984 is about, freezing the world at a certain point of time in history, essentially.
